Habakkuk 3:17-19

 

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop falls and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in their stalls,

 

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

 

The Sovereign Lord is my strength, he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, and he enables me to go on the heights.

Even though we go through our trials and tribulations, we are to still rejoice in the Lord. When we go through things that seem unbearable or near impossible just call on God.  Praise Him in the midst of what you are going through.  Thank Him for bringing you out of your dry places. Give Him all the glory for it.  One way or another He will get the honor and glory that’s due.  There were times in my life when I felt that He had left me.  He was there all along.  All I had to do was cry aloud and spare not.  We have to get to the point where it doesn’t matter who is around.  We need that “crazy praise”.  We need that type of praise where it will scare ourselves let alone everyone else.  Isaiah 54:1 says, “Sing O, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than her who has a husband.” (NIV)  What God was saying is that He wants you to praise like you’ve never praised in your life.  We all get weary and that’s when he wants it even more.  That never-before praise.  As you continue on in your praise, He will lift you up both spiritually and physically.  Your lives will be changed dramatically.  You will never be the same again.  Your new life will begin.  So come on let’s stand for the Lord and He will make our feet like the feet of a deer, He will enable us to go on the heights. (Habakkuk 3:19)  Praise the Lord!
